Hove Bags Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $663

YAH YAH (2) jumped from the same trap last time when a 6 length third (30.54) at this track over 500m. Deserves another chance. SHARP SURPRISE (6) was in the money fresh then claimed an A8 by 1.5 lengths at this track last start over 500m (30.43). Levels up but can win again with the confidence restored. ROMANTIC RICHY (1) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (30.58) in an A7 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Well placed here and can atone this time. COURANCOVE CAT (3) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.
